Botswana
Botswana
Where water carves the land and wildlife roams free.
Botswana is where nature reigns and travelers are invited to witness, not disturb. Glide silently through the Okavango Delta in a traditional mokoro, track big cats across the savannas of the Linyanti, and sleep beneath the stars in remote tented camps designed to disappear into the landscape. With strict low-impact tourism policies and vast private concessions, Botswana promises seclusion, sustainability, and soul-stirring encounters. Whether it’s the desert stillness of the Makgadikgadi or the water-rich drama of the Delta, this is safari stripped back to its purest form.
